<H2 CLASS="section"><A NAME="htoc123">8.4</A>&nbsp;&nbsp;Low Level Arithmetic Builtins</H2>
The low level builtins (like <A HREF="../bips/kernel/arithmetic/P-3.html"><B>+/3</B></A><A NAME="@default429"></A>, <A HREF="../bips/kernel/arithmetic/sin-2.html"><B>sin/2</B></A><A NAME="@default430"></A> etc.)
which are used to evaluate
the predefined arithmetic functions can also be called directly,
but this is not recommended for portability reasons.
<A NAME="@default431"></A>
Moreover, there is no need to use them directly since the ECL<SUP><I>i</I></SUP>PS<SUP><I>e</I></SUP> compiler
will transform all arithmetic expressions into calls to the corresponding
low level builtins.<BR>
